While the rivalry between the Rams and the Cowboys is fierce, people from both sides of the fence engage in a more friendly fight — that of donating blood.

The annual Border War Blood drive is back and continues through Friday. Blood donation centers will be located at:

• In the main conference room at the Larimer County building, 1501 Blue Spruce Drive, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today.

• The bloodmobile will be at the pharmaceutical research company Tolmar, 701 Centre Ave., from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.

University of Colorado Health’s northern region has won the traveling, bronzed heart trophy six consecutive years.

Blood is much needed this time of year — when there are more car wrecks, when peoples’ minds are on the holidays and not giving blood, and when patients have met annual deductibles and want to undergo certain surgeries, according to a release on http://visionary.pvhs.org.
